TI  - Relationship between provider-based measures of physical function and 
      self-reported health-related quality of life in patients admitted for elective 
      coronary angiography.
PG  - 90-100
AB  - BACKGROUND: Improving health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is important for 
      patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). However, few clinicians measure 
      HRQOL in clinical practice. More commonly used are two provider-based measures of 
      CAD, the Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) and the New York Heart Association 
      (NYHA). We explored the relationship of these two provider-based measures with 
      two self-reported HRQOL questionnaires, the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) 
      and the Short Form 36 (SF-36). METHODS: Included were 753 outpatients (74% were 
      men) admitted for elective cardiac catheterization. HRQOL, CCS class, and NYHA 
      status were measured. RESULTS: We found significant associations of CCS and NYHA 
      with HRQOL concerning physical dimensions, but weaker associations for other 
      important dimensions. We also observed weaker associations in women than men, not 
      being previously reported. CONCLUSIONS: HRQOL instruments add broader information 
      in patients with CAD and should supplement provider-based measures. Further 
      research is needed on possible implications of the observed sex differences.
